INSIDE THE BOX – MB950TIR* The following items are included with the MEGAPIX camera.
NETWORK CONNECTION* There are two options to power the MB950TIR camera. Use a PoE-enabled switch to connect data and power through a single cable and begin viewing and recording images instantly. A non -PoE switch will require an adaptor for power transmission. 1. Using a PoE-Enabled Switch The MEGApix Camera is PoE-Compliant, allowing transmission of power and data via a single Ethernet cable. PoE eliminates the need for the different cables used to power, record, or control the camera.
INSTALLATION* 1. Use the camera’s mounting template to mark and drill the mounting holes. 3. Mount the camera’s arm support onto the mounting plate. 4. To connect all appropriate cables to the camera and complete the installation, unscrew the back cover of the camera. 2. Fix the mounting plate to the surface using the three (3) provided screws, washers, and wall anchors.
INSTALLATION* 5. Remove the spindle fork connecting the camera module to the mounting bracket by pushing in the spindle. 6. Screw the spindle fork on to the camera. 7. Set the camera onto the arm by pushing the spindle and placing the fork on the spindle.
INSTALLATION* 8. Tighten the screws on the other side of the spindle to lock the camera on to the mounting bracket. 9. To adjust the camera’s pan and tilt, loosen the pan & tilt screw locks and adjust them accordingly. 10. To adjust the camera’s lens, focus, and zoom, unscrew the front cover by rotating it counter clock-wise. 11. Use the two handles at the base of the lens to adjust the focus and the zoom.
INSTALLATION* 12. You may also use the 2nd Video output located near the camera’s lens for easy adjustment during installation. 13. After adjusting the lens, remove a drying agent pack from one of the silver packages stored inside the accessories package*. 14. Remove the sticker from the drying agent pack and insert it in the front under the lens as shown in the image*. 15. Screw the front cover back on to the camera. 16. If using wide angle, shift the camera’s hood back to avoid blocking the view.
IP FINDER SOFTWARE* Installing IP Scan Software IP Finder searches for all the available Digital Watchdog devices currently connected to your network. 1. Install IP Scan to find the MB950TIR Cameras on the local network. The IP Scan software can be found on the included CD. Run IP Scan and install it onto your PC. 2. When setup is complete, launch the IP Scan software. 3. To find your MB950TIR cameras, click the Scan button. 4.
IP FINDER SOFTWARE* DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a device to configure automatically according to the network it is connected to.

TROUBLESHOOTING Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist. Streaming video from the camera using an RTSP Streaming. Video can be streamed to a video player (e.g. VLC) via RTSP protocol using the standard RTSP port number 554. The URL is in the following format: rtsp://[IP ADDRESS]/rtpvideo[1-4].sdp Replace with the appropriate IP address. rtpvideo1-4 represent video profiles with different characteristics.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist. Viewing Motion JPEG from the camera in a Browser Basic streaming from the camera to a browser can be done using the mjpg.cgi call. Microsoft IE does not support this function. IE doesn’t support the server-push implementation, so Firefox is recommended for use with mjpg.cgi. Other browsers (e.g. Chrome) may also work.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist. Digital Input Electrical Information Ambient Temperature: 25º C TTL signal only External voltage source: 3-5Vdc ±10% TTL signal high/low level: 3.3V Max.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist. I can’t find my MEGAPIX camera on the IP Finder software. Is the PoE cable connected properly? Make sure the cable is tightly connected at both ends. It should make a “click” sound when connected properly. Make sure the cable is intact and there are no cuts or exposed wires.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before sending your camera for repair, check the following or contact your technical specialist. I can’t connect to my MEGAPIX camera through the Web Browser Are the camera’s LEDs on and blinking? The camera’s LED indicates the camera is On.
